Cellulose Nanocrystals Incorporated Nanocomposites for Water Treatment Applications
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-12)Water is the elixir of life; however, it is being increasingly contaminated by a wide variety of contaminants from industrial, municipal and agricultural sources like dyes, heavy metal ions, food additives, pharmaceuticals, ... -
Cellulose – Polycarbonate Nanocomposites: A novel automotive window alternative
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-29)Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) has great potential as a reinforcing agent in thermoplastics (such as polyesters, polyamides and polycarbonates) due to its high mechanical strength and aspect ratio – being compared with ... -
Cellulosic Nanocomposites for Advanced Manufacturing: An Exploration of Advanced Materials in Electrospinning and Additive Manufacturing
(University of Waterloo, 2020-02-21)The effects of formulation and processing of thermoplastics and composites containing Nanocrystalline Cellulose (NCC) were explored and characterized for electrospinning and fused deposition modeling 3D printing advanced ... -
Celtic, Roman, and Everything in Between: The Evolution of the Sacred in Romano-Celtic Wales
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-26)Celtic religion is usually summarized with a quick discussion of druidic practices and human sacrifice. The actual ancient religion of the Insular Celtic populations was a lot more complicated. This thesis introduces the ... -
Cemeteries & the Control of Bodies
(University of Waterloo, 2006)There has been a substantial change in cemetery administration over the last century. Where once cemeteries were predominantly run by religious organizations, now they are mostly run by local municipalities. This ... -
Central and Peripheral Cornea and Corneal Epithelium Characterized Using Optical Coherence Tomography and Confocal Microscopy
(University of Waterloo, 2008-05-22)Abstract Both in the closed and open eye state the superior limbus is covered by the upper lid. This region is of physiological interest and clinical importance because in chronic hypoxia, neovascularization of the ... -
Central Nervous System Control of Dynamic Stability during Locomotion in Complex Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2006)A major function of the central nervous system (CNS) during locomotion is the ability to maintain dynamic stability during threats to balance. The CNS uses reactive, predictive, and anticipatory mechanisms in order to ... -
Central Visual Field Assessment in Late Stage Glaucoma
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Glaucoma is defined as a progressive optic neuropathy, characterized by loss of visual function and often associated with high intra-ocular pressure. Testing the patients' visual function with Standard Automated Perimetry ... -
Centralized Rate Allocation and Control in 802.11-based Wireless Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-20)Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) built with commodity 802.11 radios are a cost-effective means of providing last mile broadband Internet access. Their multihop architecture allows for rapid deployment and organic growth of ... -
A Centralized System Performance Monitoring Infrastructure
(University of Waterloo, 2024-03-22)In this thesis, we introduce a centralized performance monitoring infrastructure. In the current computing landscape, performance monitoring architectures are becoming more and more important for different academic and ... -
Centred in Motion: A Development Proposal for the Suburban Community of Pickering, Ontario
(University of Waterloo, 2009-05-13)Centred in Motion presents a strategy for adapting the existing suburban development of Pickering, Ontario to accommodate contemporary needs. The cultural and geographical conditions that generated Pickering, along with ... -
Cerebral Autoregulatory Response to Postural Changes and Walking in Older Adults with Heart Failure
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-18)Individuals with heart failure (HF) have reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF) compared to age- matched older adults. This might be related to an impairment in cerebral autoregulation (CA), or an impairment in the CA mechanisms ... -
Cerebral Blood Flow Response to Posture Transition and Walking in Older Adults with Heart Failure
(University of Waterloo, 2019-08-29)Individuals with heart failure (HF) have lower cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygenation at rest, and lower cerebral oxygenation at peak exercise, likely due to insufficient cardiac output and poor respiratory function; ... -
Cerebrospinal Fluid Pulsations and Aging Effects in Mathematical Models of Hydrocephalus
(University of Waterloo, 2010-08-20)In this Thesis we develop mathematical models to analyze two proposed causative mechanisms for the ventricular expansion observed in hydrocephalus: cerebrospinal fluid pulsations and small transmantle pressure gradients. To ... -
Cerebrovascular and cardiovascular responses to lower body negative pressure and posture change in the elderly
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-27)Lower body negative pressure (LBNP) is frequently used in the research setting as a means to induce orthostatic stress. This tool is applicable to typical movements during daily living only if the associated responses are ... -
